They will rebuild the ancient ruins, repairing cities destroyed long ago.

First Things First

THE SHORT & THE LONG

TheMediaOaks is firstly a bunch of people that love God and want to inspire others to love him too. Or perhaps we should say we’re a bunch of people who have experienced His love and want to spur others on to do the same.

In short we would like to bring hope. Point to hope. Become hope. We want to encourage you to bring hope, point to hope. Become hope for the world around you. One of the ways we do this is through video. Another is through podcasts. Another is through radio. This is what this is: A platform where we post inspiring stories, great teachings, motivating doccies,

encouraging talks, pretty much anything that inspires us to love God more or understand his love in a better way. That is it. We believe God dreams big about every one of us. That dream is inside of us. We need to discover it. And then we can display God’s glory by living out that dream.

Secondly we’re a bunch of people who aspire to deliver media products to anybody out there. Video, Graphic Design, Photography, Websites

We urge our clients to dream big when they consider their media needs. We help them discover that dream and assist them in pinpointing what it will entail. We take pride in displaying that dream in an excellent way, and if I may use the word, a glorious way.

Producing professional media products that display the life and breath of a client’s product or organisation. Please visit Oak Street Media, our commercial avenue of operations. And allow us to display your dream.

WHY OAKS?

Isaiah 61 is such a jewel of a scripture – It talks about brokenness and healing, freedom and favour. Beauty for ashes and blessing instead of mourning. It talks about rebuilding ancient ruins and repairing destroyed cities.

This is the God we commit to and the message we endorse. It discusses concepts of provision, honour, joy, prosperity, and justice. It references a bride and a groom, and a luscious, blooming, spring garden. Intimate and life-giving concepts that qualifies our God as absolutely unique.

RIGHTEOUS OAKS for the DISPLAY OF HIS SPLENDOR, or GLORY. There is nothing we did right in order to deserve this remarkable title. Only God. Only Jesus. But we are indeed righteous carriers of his favour. Through no work of our own. And we desperately wish to be towering oaks, priests of the Lord, that display his glory. You too are such an Oak if his Spirit dwells in you.

You will be called priests of the Lord, ministers of our God.

– Isa 61:3

A Key Element of Hope is to

SHARE

One of the key elements of hope is sharing. When we share our joys, our pain, our adventure, our fears, we connect with those we share. We open up an avenue for ‘me’ to become ‘us’. That is community. That is in fact church.

Sharing usually has two components. There is often a giver and a receiver, or a speaker and a listener. One who has pain and one who cares, one who needs time and one who offers time. That is community. And that is love. We encourage you to share of yourself and allow others to share with

you. In every aspect of life. We also encourage you to share anything you experience on this platform that inspires you. Also to share of your stories. If you believe there is something you have to share and would like us to record it, please be bold enough to connect with us.
